I growled while painting Snow Leopard

"Snow Leopard"Watercolor

This was a test of perseverance. In spite of, or maybe because of the external noise ofpeople (especially little) all around my environment, I was able to complete this piece in one sitting. Many times as I was creating, the little ones would peek into my room andcomment on what I was doing. I'd lose my focus and then pick up the paintbrushand get my artistic center back on course.

I feel my affinity for Native American cultures was coming through as I painted "war paint"under the creature's eyes. Yes, it was a battle of sorts and my warrior woman self won out in the end.

I was growling throughout much of this creation, but by the end that changed topurring. Yes, I do believe in the art process.

About Me

My name is Beverly. I enjoy the creative expressions of life, which bring me both delight and healing. Whether painting, writing, playing the piano or taking pictures, whatever moves me is where I'll land. I love to tap into the deeper meaning of life, perhaps my psychology background is inspiration. Nature is a mentor of mine and gives me much spiritual relief. This site will follow my path in life, which is always unfolding in new and exciting ways.
